Data For Virtual Column NOT appearing a Table View?

[CaptainEon]

To get over the [bug/feature!] that labelled fields do not output any data in a Table I have create virtual field using the date form the Labelled field.

Virtual [Img 1] with formula of [Image 1]

Great  but I only wanted this to appear in the Table view so I added

Show:  CONTEXT("ViewType") = "table"

To my horror, the column name appears in the table view but not the actual data!

Surely this is another BUG ? (Feature!)

[CaptainEon]

The workaround to this is to use the following SHOW formula instead.

NOT(IN(CONTEXT("ViewType"), LIST("detail", "form")))

But still, the bug could do with with fixing.

Absolutely none of this makes any sense to me. What in the world are you talking about? "To get over the [bug/feature] ..." what?

Sorry @Steve 

 Ignore my rant on [bug/feature].... it's just because some users on here are happy to accept what I consider a bug in AppSheet because it's just been designed that way. It's a long story...

The crux of the matter is there is a bug on exporting to CSV files.

If a field is designated as a LABEL field, the data does not appear whne exported to CSV

Its easy to test.

1 Create a table with say and Image field, and designate it as a LABEL.

2 Create a table view with an ACTION to export the data to CSV.

3 You will see the column designated as a LABEL in the CSV is blank.

4 Now, Change the field definition so it's not a label and redo the export. The data appears in the CSV column!

Note. When trying to implement a workaround for the behaviour described above, I discovered another bug, which I implemented another workaround for.

Yep, that'd be me.
